Model 493.40 I/O Carrier Connections
Each Model 493.40 I/O Carrier module can include up to four mezzanine cards.
Each installed mezzanine card is assigned a specific I/O Carrier module front
panel connector (J4–J7 I/O).
A hardware interface file (hwi) defines each type of module (and their associated
mezzanine cards) and maps each module location for the system software. The
.hwi file and the physical locations for each type of module and associated
mezzanine cards must match. Also, the I/O Carrier module address setting (on
the module) must match the .hwi file address. For more information on the .hwi
file, see the MTS 793 Utility Software manual.
